$A$ ball at rest is dropped from a height of $12 ~m$. It loses $25 \%$ of its kinetic energy on striking the ground and bounces back to a height '$h$'. Then the value of '$h$' is: (in $~m$)

If the length of a stretched string is shortened by $x \%$ and the tension is increased by $44 \%$,then the ratio of the final and initial fundamental frequencies is $2:1$. The value of $x$ is:

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below:
$(A)$ $A$ body initially at rest is acted upon by a constant force. The rate of change of its kinetic energy varies linearly with time.
$(B)$ When a body is at rest,it must be in equilibrium.

In which of the following reactions,chlorine acts as an oxidising agent?
$(i)$ $CH_3CH_2OH + Cl_2 \longrightarrow CH_3CHO + HCl$
$(ii)$ $CH_3CHO + Cl_2 \longrightarrow CCl_3CHO + HCl$
$(iii)$ $CH_4 + Cl_2 \xrightarrow{hv} CH_3Cl + HCl$
The correct answer is

If $a > 0$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{a^x - x^a}{x^x - a^a} = -1$,then $a$ is equal to
